Ooni Karu 2: 20% off for Black Friday — a compact multi‑fuel outdoor pizza oven
Ooni has discounted its Karu 2 pizza oven for Black Friday — the 12‑inch multi‑fuel model is now $359, down from its usual $449 (sale runs through December 2). The Karu 2 is a portable outdoor oven that can run on either hardwood (wood/charcoal) or gas with the optional gas burner, offering flexibility for backyard cooks.
Despite not topping Ooni’s own lists, the Karu 2 offers serious performance for its size. The interior reaches temperatures up to ~950°F, allowing you to cook Neapolitan‑style pizzas in about one minute. It’s light (around 33 lb) and easy to move, and Ooni sells a travel cover if you plan to haul it to friends’ houses or store it between uses.
Key specs & features
- Cooking width: 12 inches — best for personal or small family pizzas.
- Fuel: Multi‑fuel — wood/charcoal by default; gas possible with an add‑on burner.
- Max temp: Up to ~950°F, enabling ~1‑minute pizza bakes.
- Weight & portability: ~33 lb; compact footprint and optional luggage‑style cover available.
- Use case: Outdoor use only — not suitable for indoor kitchens.
Who should consider it?
If you want a fast, hands‑on pizza solution for the backyard or tailgate, the Karu 2 is an appealing mid‑range option. It’s a step down from larger models like the Karu 16 in capacity and size, but it still delivers high heat and real wood‑fired flavor. Keep in mind winter and outdoor conditions — if you live where it snows, consider storage and cover options.
Shopping tips
- Confirm whether the sale is live in your region and whether stock is available — Black Friday discounts can sell out quickly.
- If you want gas convenience, check the availability and compatibility of Ooni’s gas burner accessory.
- Remember it’s an outdoor appliance: plan for storage, cover, and safe operation clear of flammable materials.
